WWE NXT superstar Nikkita Lyons announced on social media that she would be sidelined for the foreseeable future after partially tearing her MCL.
The fan-favorite confirmed the severity of her injury in an Instagram post, saying that she doesn’t need surgery for what is essentially “just a sprain.” Lyons noted that she had already begun rehab on the injury, and even showed off the leg brace she was wearing. Lyons confirmed that she suffered the injury during a “freak accident” while training.
Despite the injury being relatively minor, it’s still unclear just how long Lyons will be out of action. She was recently removed from the Women’s NXT Breakout Tournament during the latest episode of NXT. Lyons had made it to the semifinal round, but due to the injury, she was replaced by Tiffany Stratton in the bout.
